Judgment is a game that has its share of wacky sidequests, including one where the player has to chase a wig that has been blown off the head of a celebrity, as well as one where a trio of perverts is accosting women and it's up to the player to take on foes with names like Ass Catchem or the Panty Professor.

The streets of Kamurocho are always full of weird and wonderful characters. Here's how to befriend the residents of the city in Judgment.

One of the serious missions in Judgment (at least in the beginning) involves the main character receiving mysterious phone calls from a person who has planted bombs around Kamurocho and only gives vague clues as to where they may be. You have to find each one and disarm them before their timers go off. Here is how you accomplish that.

Starting The Questline

The Mad Bomber escapades can be initiated in chapter two. At one point during the said chapter, a side case icon will appear outside the Ebisu Pawnshop, in between the entrances of Nakamichi Street and Pink Street.

On the way there, a cutscene will play where a bomb goes off. Then another nearby bomb will begin to beep, and you have to go up to it to disable the thing. This starts the series of bomb-disarming quests.

The First Bomb To Find (Kamurocho's Mad Bomber)

After disarming the initial one that's right next to you, you get a call about the first bomb you have to find.

The clue you're given is, "You'll find it in the angel of the warrior's maze".

In order to find this bomb, the player needs to travel to the Champion District and visit the bar called Earth Angel. A cutscene will play showing the bomb being defused if the player reaches the right location on time.

The Second Bomb To Find (The Mad Bomber Strikes Again)

This bomb doesn't appear until chapter four. You initiate it by going to the side case icon in Theater Square.

The clue for the second bomb is, "There is an ox inside the inn".

In order to find the second bomb, the player needs to head to Akashimaru located in the Hotel District. A cutscene will play showing the bomb being defused if the player reaches the correct location on time.

The Third Bomb To Find (Return Of The Mad Bomber)

To initiate this last one, you must wait until chapter six and then visit the side case icon near Millenium Tower Street.

The clue for the third and final bomb is, "The pigeon coos among the cherry blossoms."

The third bomb can be found in the Poppo Store on Pink Street. A cutscene will play if the player reached the correct location on time.

Once the third bomb has been found, the player will encounter the Mad Bomber and will be given the chance to take them on in a fistfight. The Mad Bomber intends to blow himself and the player up, but the timely intervention of Tsukumo results in the bombs being defused.

This serves as the end of the Mad Bomber's story.
